Twitchell between Lee Road and Main Street
This appears to follow the line of an old field access footpath.
A local resident provides this information:
"To many 'old' locals, this footpath is affectionately known as 'Polly's Lane'. It was originally unsurfaced and was therefore often very muddy in damp weather!"

Houses on Collyer Road
Part of the western block of development of Calverton as a colliery village in the 1950s. These examples appear to be more substantial than most, with a double-front appearance. However the side door gives the game away - these are in fact maisonettes, each confined to a single storey.
